Westlife, Margot Robbie and Dwayne Johnson Confirmed for the 2025 Pride of Britain Awards
The stars are set to shine even brighter this October as the 2025 Pride of Britain Awards return, celebrating the nation’s most inspirational and heroic individuals. The prestigious ceremony, hosted by Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo, will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX at 8pm on Thursday, 23 October, live from London’s iconic Grosvenor House Hotel.
Among this year’s special guests are Margot Robbie, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and chart-topping favourites Westlife, who will join a glittering array of celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sport, and politics. Together, they’ll pay tribute to the remarkable people whose courage, kindness, and selflessness have made a lasting difference in their communities.
Now one of the most beloved fixtures in the British television calendar, the Pride of Britain Awards have been running for over two decades, honouring extraordinary individuals who embody the very best of the UK’s spirit. From everyday heroes who have saved lives to young people showing incredible bravery and resilience, the event continues to highlight stories that move and inspire millions.
The awards were founded in 1999 and have since grown into one of the country’s most-watched and most emotional nights of the year. Each ceremony is known for its powerful storytelling, heartfelt tributes, and moments that unite viewers across generations. With Carol Vorderman at the helm since the beginning — and Ashley Banjo joining her in recent years — the show has earned a reputation for its warmth, authenticity, and ability to celebrate the power of good deeds in an often challenging world.
This year’s guest list promises an extra touch of Hollywood glamour, with Margot Robbie and Dwayne Johnson set to present awards alongside British stars and public figures. Meanwhile, Westlife will take to the stage with a special live performance in honour of the night’s winners.
As always, the 2025 Pride of Britain Awards will be an evening filled with emotion, inspiration, and pride — a powerful reminder that extraordinary acts of kindness and courage happen every day, often in the most unexpected places.
